Pond fish stocking recommendationsOur recommendations and pond stocking packages are based on N.C. State extension guidelines. We help pond owners achieve a balance that will continue to produce harvestable fish for years to come.

Pond P.H.New pond owners should measure their pond Ph prior to pond stocking. A Ph of 5.5-9 will hold fish but closer to 7 or 8 is best for fish growth and reproduction. You can find test kits with pool suppliers and pet stores.
